Mrs Hannelie Kotze

Psychologist

“I am an experienced educational psychologist with more than 20 years experience in the field of learning barriers, autism, ADHD anxiety + divorce therapy.”

About Me

With over 20 years as an educational psychologist, I guide individuals and families. My experience covers learning barriers, autism, ADHD, anxiety, and divorce. I help unravel complex challenges, finding practical ways forward together. We create a supportive space to build confidence and clarity. This approach suits anyone seeking an experienced professional to make sense of their unique situation.

Approach

Beginning with careful listening and straightforward assessment, I shape sessions around clear, manageable steps so children and adolescents feel seen and understood. From my Milnerton office or online, in English or Afrikaans, sessions move between focused tasks, brief play or problem-solving, and collaborative planning with caregivers. Between meetings I share practical strategies and simple observations to try at home or school, keeping progress concrete and trackable. This way of working suits families seeking steady, practical support through uncertain transitions.
